SB 1130: Invasion of privacy: wearable recording devices.

This bill would add a new chapter to the California Business and Professions Code, creating new laws related to wearable recording devices. It would prohibit using these devices to capture sound or video of others in places where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, unless they have explicit consent. The device must also display an indicator when capturing sound or video. Disabling this indicator would be prohibited. Manufacturers, sellers, and users of technology that enables this action would also be prohibited from selling or using it. Violations would be punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. Additionally, a civil penalty of up to $2,500 per violation would be imposed on those found guilty of knowingly violating these laws.
